Hey guys. Just the topic i was looking for. My g/f's dad and his mate are looking to get into the power kiting shizzle.
Is there anyone on here who deals with the equipment that will point them in the right direction and/or give em a good deal on it?

Boro, there is also a fella in grays who has helped a few people on here, cant remember the name of the shop though!!! lol
failing that just pop over to either barleylands or Barlings, say hello and the guys at both venues will answer any questions and maybe even let you have a test fly.
try before you buy and all that

Boro, i'm sure there are many clubs over your neck of the woods...
as above, i'd advise spending the day out with other kiters and see whats what.
If they are like the guys we have met recently, they will all take time to explain stuff and i'm sure they will let you have a go of their kit too.
basically you need to have a bit of an understanding as to where you want to get.
a) small kite for exercise (where we started)
b) big kite for being dragged across a field (where we were)
c) big kite for buggy cruising
d) big kite for buggy jumping
e) boarding
get on the flexifoil forum for some good advice too !!!
good luck!

Phil,
Dont know if you would be interested but know you are looking for a cheap starter kite.
We have a 3.5m bullet which will be ready to fly looking for around £70 if you
are interested.
if not no worries will stick it on fleabay.
cheers
